Brief Q&A<\/p>\n

What kind of computer do I need to install TrueConf Server?<\/b><\/p>\n

TrueConf Server does not feature advanced system requirements<\/a>. You will not need an expensive server or a multicore virtual machine. With TrueConf, even a very basic setup will allow holding video conferences with up to 1000 simultaneous participants. We also recommend that you check our recommendations<\/a> for selecting web cameras and audio peripherals.<\/p>\n

What should I do if I have a public IP address for connecting to TrueConf Server?<\/b><\/p>\n

You will need a static IP address available outside the local area network of your organization. If your computer connects to the Internet via a router, NAT or other network equipment, you will need to configure additional addressing<\/a>; otherwise, users will not be able to connect to the video conferencing server from their homes.<\/p>\n

Will my Internet channel allow everyone to connect?<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

To make sure that video communication between learners is not affected by any problems, check if the Internet channel of your organization meets our requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
